Friendship is Magic, Warfare is Hell
It was a hot sunny day in the desert of Afghanistan. Im going to cut
to the chase, My name is Private Nick Adams of the United States
Marine Corps, but my squad calls me Ghost. We were at base at the time
rather from messing around, relaxing, cleaning rifles, or more likely
jacking off to pictures of their girlfriends or wives back home. For
me I like to lay down to look at my Princess Luna toy or watch My
Little Pony on my laptop. A brony in the Marines seems weird but no
one in the squad seem to care and we share everything to each other,
cause since we are away from family and me hating my family, we all
grew as brothers. Band of Brothers.
Back to where we are, I was laying on my bed when the squad leader
came in the tent and yelled "Listen up ladies, we're moving out, get
locked and loaded and met up at the humvees!"
We put on our armor, helmets, and got our rifles and ammo. When we got
to the humvees we saw all the squad leaders talking the company
leader. There was a moment of silence until the company leader spoke
"Gentlemen, we are going to the city of blah blah (I didn't give a
shit what city it was or where it was) where there are positive IED's
scattered around the city, also learned that there will be multiple
hostiles in the area so safety's off."
"Fuck yeah, going to kill me some towel heads!" John yelled but we
call him Lucky, me and the company laughed after he said that, even
the company leader laughed a little "Haha.. So any questions?" No one
replied.
"Good let's move out!"
We all got in our humvees and left base, there 10 humvees including
our's in the middle, there were 5 of us in the humvee, Lucky was in
the Driver seat, the squad leader Dick was in the passenger side, we
called him Dick because his name is Dick bu
t mostly because he's a
dickhead, Austin aka shadow who was sitting next to me was gunner, he
is my bestest friend I have, Ty aka well... He was just Ty, and last
but not lease me Ghost who sat behind Dick from the back seat. For the
entire trip it was nothing but silence and honking horns. I just
stared at the widow that was covered dust and a little dried up blood,
it reminded me when I left for boot camp.
"Man, I can't wait to get out of this shit hole called war," said Ty,
"I got a girl waiting for me back home that I'm going to fuck the shit
out of her!"
"Too bad the only pussy you got was your rifle!" Shadow said while we
all laughed
"Fuck you, do you have a girl waiting for you?"
Shadow replied, "Sure do, my beautiful finance waiting for me back home"
"I still remember you proposing to her" I said give a little smirk.
"How bout you Ghost got a girl waiting for you?" Ty asked. For me all
that was waiting for me was so called "friends" and a shitty
family."Well.." I said before getting interrupted.
"Cut the chatter, stay frosty!" Dick said. Shadow got up to the 50
cal. Machine gun and me pulling the hammer back from my rifle and
turning the safety off ready to fire.
I looked around at the city, people hiding in shops and houses. They
were rather afraid of us or hated us. I felt the truck stop and Dick
shouted out "Ok get out and secure the area!" and we did so, we got
out of humvee, besides Shadow staying on the turret. We split into 2
teams, it was me and Dick securing one side of the street while Ty and
Lucky cleared the other. I kicked down the first door went in, and
Dick following me in, and repeated the next 2 buildings and all of
them we said "Clear!" meaning nothing here.
We got outside after clearing the third building, I took a few till I
heard "Ghost!" then feeling someone pulling me back. It was Dick who
pulled me back and I fell on the ground, I was about to ask why he
pulled me, but pointed at something on the ground. My heart stopped
and my eyes widened. Dick yelled out "We have a positive IED right
here!"
